The Awards 2025

The Inventorium Awards, presented by the Inventors Foundation, celebrate the creativity and impact of inventors whose patented innovations are shaping the future of technology, science, and society. These awards recognize excellence at every stage of the innovation journey — from young innovators to seasoned professionals and lifelong achievers.

Held on December 15, 2025, and live-streamed globally from Silicon Valley, the Awards bring together inventors, industry leaders, and intellectual property experts from around the world.

About the Event 

The Inventorium Awards 2025 showcase inventors, featuring keynote talks, interactive panel discussions, and an awards ceremony for this year’s recipients.

The Process

Every great celebration begins with a spark. The journey to the Inventorium Awards starts when nominations arrive — from the public, our staff, law firms, corporations, and even inventors themselves.

From there, a panel of experts carefully reviews each nomination to ensure it meets the highest standards and showcases technologies with true societal and/or industry impact.

Those who rise above are placed on a shortlist and passed to an independent jury. After spirited discussions and multiple rounds of voting, the jury narrows the field, identifying the finalists and, ultimately, the winners.

Just before the ceremony, we unveil the names of the remarkable inventors who have made the final cut. Then, on Awards Day, the spotlight shines brightest as the winners in each category are revealed — honoring the creativity, vision, and brilliance that drive human progress.
